We at the Griffin care about your health and safety.
As our guests we want you to experience the creativity the museum has on its walls as safely as possible. Following the guidelines of the CDC, WHO and the State of Massachusetts, we are implementing new policies and protocols so your visit to the museum is a safe and healthy one when we do open to the public. Our plan is to open to the public beginning July 18th with reopening plans in place.
